Areas of focus: novels and fiction can be brought in chapters, humor writing, personal essays, op-eds, travel writing and more.

To Bring and What to Expect: 1500 words max, your ideas, anything you’ve written, and lists of your favorite writers and publications. Each week, you will receive constructive positive feedback that focuses on telling you what and how to re-write the work for publication. We will focus on craft, where to pitch and who to pitch to in order to get your story published. You also receive access to a contact list and secret Facebook group worth more than the class itself.
